lieu, you summed it up nicely, if you substitute family room for office. 
That is one adorable pup!!
Now all you need is a cute - as - can - be little kitten so your puppy can have a playmate. 
Oh, she has a playmate. Meet Charley. Charley is 3 year old lab mix that I adopted about a year ago from Atlanta Lab Rescue. Charley was abused in a former life, and it has been a long slow recovery for her to get back to a level of trust. When I had another dog visiting for a few days, I was struck by how another dog seemed to pull a little more “normal dog” out of Charley. So I decided a puppy would be just the thing. Thus the little demon dog Molly.
They are becoming fast friends, with levels of play I have never seen from Charley before.
I bet if you did bring a kitten into the equation Charley will have two little guys to tend to—and woe betide the stranger who tries to get too close.
yeah - like that dog will ever hear the word ‘no’.
So - where do I order one?
They’re probably unique, Simster. Cute like that can’t be mass-produced. 
Lethal amount of cute!
She’ll top out at 40/50lbs,I think (MHO)
Scrub where she poops with apple cider vinegar,many cleaners have ammonia,which to a puppy nose signals “here”…
She was supercute on her own, but with a big Labbie brother – ::squees only the dogs can hear
That would be ideal, since Charley the lab is 48 pounds
Charley is a SHE, she asked me to inform you!!
:eek: Big sis Charley, sorry buddy! :: pats
Not to be a conspiracy-monger, but I noticed in the video Molly chases the ball out of sight and then reappears carrying what appears to be the same ball, but we do not get to see the supposed moment of capture. Just saying.
For us the solution to housetraining issues was to take paper towels, touch them in the scent, carry them outside, and praise doggie over the paper towels. Dogs have an easier time processing “this is what you should do” than “this is what you should NOT do.”
Good on you for rescuing!
You might, for the time being, put her food and water bowls on the spot where she’s been “spiking the ball”. I don’t think she’ll poop where she eats.
I’ve had 3 rescue dogs. Currently I have 2 (RIP Chance). They are the best, aren’t they?
Those are GSD ears if I’ve ever seen 'em. I vote for a bit of Shepherd in there amongst whatever else she’s got going on in there! It’s fun to guess and get results to see how wrong we can be.
Super cute, and this may sound weird, but thanks for taking black-furred doggies, it’s really a thing they have a harder time getting adopted (cats and dogs) because people still think they’re bad luck or something else dumb. Shelters around here have special events just to get more adopted!
I heard that people aren’t taking black pets because they don’t photograph well.
P-bunny (owned by 2 black cats)
We had a fluffy “tuxedo” cat and a solid black spaniel-dachshund cross in the Sixties.
They didn’t have a problem with photographing well; we just didn’t have a very good camera.
Okay, DNA test results are back, and they are hmmmmm, unexpected. Most dominant part of her specific breed mix is Chow, which I did kind of expect. The rest of her though, I was not expecting. Next biggest chunk of her DNA mix is Shar-Pei. Followed closely by Collie. What the hell? Those are the three breeds that show up in enough of her DNA for them to ID her as a Chow/ Shar-Pei/Collie mix. And that is Collie as in big Lassie style collie.
She had had much smaller pieces of DNA consistent with about 5 other breeds, including Akita, Harrier, and even a little Cocker Spaniel for good measure.
I’m not sure how reliable those tests are…
I had a dog who we had tested. The results came back: GSD and golden retriever. Spot on. Everyone who ever met her said that’s what she looked like.
And her other parent was apparently basset hound and English Sheep Dog. Say what now?! No signs of that whatsoever. We wondered if they had mixed two samples.
I think she’s gotten even cuter as she’s grown, as if that were even possible. 
I can definitely see the collie in her, those ears are collie pup ears.
It’s sad, but true, that people don’t readily adopt black dogs or cats. Whether it’s the photographic challenges or not, they just don’t get homes easily. And the poor black kitties that people will adopt to be ‘decor’ over Halloween and then abandon. Our shelters here won’t adopt out black kitties between 10-15 and 11-10.
My middle canine ‘child’ is a black dog. I always have at least one black dog in my family. It’s my way of fighting the black dog prejudice, one dog at a time.
I once saw a calendar open to October. There was a jack o’lantern with a tiny black kitten next to it. The caption read “Boo!”
no conscious effort behind it but I just realized my last 6 dogs, including the two in this thread, have been black dogs. Besides Molly and Charley there were Mattie and Simon, who were Schipperke litter mates. Before them was Chelsea the black lab. Before her was Panama the Schipperke mix. All were solid black. At least until they got gray that is.
